Is Palestine the only occupied land?
I won't hide from you that when I hear the preacher on Friday call: (O Allah, liberate Palestine from the filth of the Jews) and we believe in his supplication... I feel we are laughing at ourselves! As if our problem is only the occupation of Palestine. Yesterday, one of the brothers from a "sisterly Arab state" told me about his "free" country that celebrates "Independence Day" annually. He said to me: - A severe "security" grip holds the youth accountable if they gather in their gatherings to read Sahih al-Bukhari, even without explanation, and they are told: Gather only family gatherings without religious books. And he swore to me on that. - All Quran memorization centers in the city where his brother resides were closed, except for one house, so his brother went to register his young son, and they told him: (Currently, there is no room. You have a waiting list of 600 children, do you want to register your son on the list or forget the matter?), and he swore to me on that too! - The Friday sermon is prearranged by the Ministry of Endowments. It has nothing to do with reality. Last month, the supplication at the end was changed from (O Allah, sustain the blessing of security and safety on the state..... And all the lands of the Muslims) to: (And all the lands of the world)... And he showed me the printed supplication, with a note in the margin: (The preacher repeats it twice). Of course! They don't need to involve the issue of Islam in the matter! So why shouldn't security be for America, Russia, Iran, and "Israel" as well! - For the lessons after prayer, there is a dedicated book with old repeated admonitions that the imam is not allowed to exceed. And on the door of the mosque: (The duration of the admonition after prayer is 5 minutes, it is forbidden to exceed it. For complaints, call the number...)! This is the country that rushes to support every war against the Muslims, reaching Mali in the far west, with the wealth that Allah has placed in the depths of its lands, which is the right of the Muslims, but it turns into bullets and fire that burn their lands and establish the thrones of tyrants! It remains to know that the percentage of the original population in this country is only 18%, while it is filled with non-Muslim foreigners, including 250,000 British who own lands and houses at a time when Muslim brothers of faith need a "sponsor" to work in this country, without ownership of course. The brother concluded by saying that with the large number of foreigners in the country, he expects the United Nations to demand the right of self-determination for the country's population in 2015, to choose who rules them. Therefore, some of his brothers told him: (We must stand against this imminent danger). He said to them: (On the contrary, if Allah does not bless us with an Islamic caliphate, I ask Him to grant us British rule so that we can practice our religion freely)!! So, after that, do we say: (O Allah, liberate occupied Palestine)? Rather: O Allah, liberate the occupied lands of the Muslims. (The picture is from the Al Jazeera website)
